When Clarence said openly that "he was going to leave the Supreme Court so he could make more money," Harlan Crow stepped in and gives him at least a million dollars a year in benefits & play money!!
So is Merrick Garland I have been saying this from the get-go he gives lots of speeches for the Federalist society and it was Orrin hatch that brought him into the political world gross
I never call them anything else. To be fair, 4 justices did agree that Texas has supremacy over the DHS/Feds, & the USC is a Federal institution, so they obviously don't think much of their own power
Not really though, even at the the formation of SCOTUS people saw the writing on the wall and were pissed off. It was too late then and it's too late now
@@mythicalfelix when they over turn Roe v Wade I new then you could not trust the high court in the land because 3 judge sat in that hearing and said Rov v Wade was settled law and as soon as they got on the high court in the land they went against there word my grandfather said when judge lie to you you can never trust them again because a judge word is there Bond my opinion they are all bunch of crooks
I've never had much faith in human nature, so I've always suspected organizations, whether local or federal governments, churches, associations, &c. The supreme court has, along with the others, validated my suspicions.
@wittwittwer1043 my parents retired from local county government. I worked for them, my ex husband, and both my brothers did as well. I KNOW HOW CORRUPT GOVERNMENT CAN BE firsthand.
Thank you so so much for naming evangelism for exactly what it is. I was forced to live it. I will never stop saying it is the worst institution invented. This is dire.
Great show exposing the corruption of SCOTUS! I've also been extremely impressed with Senator Whitehouse's efforts to expose 'The Scheme' that Thomas and Alito are particularly involved in. Senator Whitehouse is also attempting to get accountability for SCOTUS. I cannot praise him enough.
🎯 Actually, since Nixon, didn't we see those reichwing red flags of their total amoral beliefs, ideology and that they were all crooks? Raised a Democrat, & Catholic, when I heard the news that crook Nixon--who was arrogantly criminal was being pardoned by who? Another Rethuglicon president, I knew that party had a stench of dishonesty wafting all around it. And Raygun just personified fake and theatre politics, pretending to be so all American & working for The People. 🤮 From then on, every other Rethuglicon president made Dumpty an inevitable choice for that vile tribe.
Taco Supremes, Nacho Supremes, Diana Ross, and the Supremes are all better than every single one of the not-justices! The ENTIRE court has been corrupted.
I once had a neighbor who I talked to about getting involved with helping the poor. We talked and we talked and this "Christian" woman said she prefers to be involved with church and church things. That's all! I guess I had forgotten about the Bible saying 'feed the poor' (unless you have better things to do). 🤬
@@transcendentaltakeoff Perhaps I wasn't clear, trying to be kind. She didn't want to BE around the "unsaved" or poor. She wanted to stay in her bubble. She made it very clear.
Money corrupts everything, and big money put most of these people on the court. There is no other qualification other than being willing to do what their masters tell them to do.
I find it hard to believe that they sold out America for a few houses & luxury trips. I've had both and I'm a nobody. The only explanation is that they're just true believers, evil traitors
thomas' sugar daddy is Harlan Crow from Dallas. He bought the beautiful old Parkland hospital in Oak Lawn/Dallas and made it into the eyesore of a pretentious business park it is today. It would fit in colonial Virginia, not near Downtown Dallas. The clientele there would be a discussion in itself! Gorsuch' mother, Anne Gorsuch Burford was head of the EPA under Raygun and was a total disaster at that post leading to her resignation in 1983 after scandalous dealings on her part. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
we need to EXPAND THE COURT!!! i’m tired of democrats trying to ask nicely and pander to moderates, if the republicans are being difficult we should be too!!! clearly asking nicely doesn’t work, they’re too far gone for rational thinking.
Okay you guys expand the court and then the Republicans just continue to expand the court and then the court is expanded to the point where it has more members than Congress
Great news update, ladies !!! Pumps, loved the SCOTUS line up! It is a Clown Car! Jenn, it's so scary that you are so right!! "It's the decline of the American Empire and we are living through it" - This is a sentiment I've been trying to express to my friends and family! We have the power to decide the outcome! Vote BLUE to save American Democracy 💙
Both of these ladies are GREAT!! I love hearing the facts - the REAL ones, as opposed to the "alternative" kind the "right" is always spewing! - Hope this series is widely successful! America NEEDS this!
Right cause Democrats have been so transformative to meeting our needs🙄 Nothing will change until Americans stop treating elections like a sporting event and stop enabling this two party insanity
Love your channel. Keep up the good work. I'm a Canadian citizen and I am appalled at what has happened to the USA in the last few years. I'm 75 years old and therefore I can remember when the USA was respected and looked to for guidance in world affairs. For example: 36,000 US soldiers died in Korea so that South Korea is now a democratic prosperous nation. The Marshall Plan rebuilt Western Europe and Japan after WWII while the Soviet Union raped Eastern Europe, and enslaved its people for 45 years. The USA was founded by idealists, and it's true that it never completely lived up to those ideals, but it was the best hope for the world until recently. If the USA continues on this path the world will become a much more dangerous place, and Canada's future will be fraught. I just hope to God that the USA regains its senses soon for our sake and the rest of the world.
Not the Supreme Court they are unchecked, no form of punishment was given in the only code of ethics released in history for them by them & this was put out end of 2023, they hold their positions until they die or retire. There has in history past literally been justices that were completely mentally incompetent just too old or have either developed some type of dementia or Alzheimer’s, and they still sat at the bench. No one could do anything this is whats scary because if they didn’t get those ones off the bench, they definitely are not going to do anything about religiosity or really anything it seems. The president could appoint more Supreme Court justices by increasing the amount of justices. there were justices a lot like ours that led us into the great depression, and refused to do anything about it, and they kept making it worse and worse and worse they were old white guys evangelicals of course and it was a lot like it is now the president at that time threatened that he was going to open up the Supreme Court and add more justices, and it was all over the news. All of a sudden these super conservative justices flipped and they did not have to add anyone else to the Supreme Court ultimately. I believe wholeheartedly Biden needs to make this threat or just do it man.
Simply the best and most forthright commentary on USA politics. Thanks very much from an old crusty lawyer and former pentecostal pastor and CEO of a religious denomination here in Australia. Go hard girls! Fkkking brilliant!
What is happening now, in our country makes this time only the MOST F'G CRUCIAL time in our history and to have a feckless CONservative Rethuglicon (let's REALLY think about that point) leading any criminal investigations necessary for the most criminal Rethuglicon in history is well, a disaster in the making. We can see it now. At this time, we needed a bulldog of an AG, like Glenn Kirschner or Fani Willis. Now we are paying for such a poor choice. This is one more reason I get sick & tired of ppl demanding Democrats be "more bipartisan." 🤬👎💩 I understand we still don't have a strong Senate majority, by why a Rethuglicon as AG, now?????
I watched the women that accused him ( Clarence) and there’s no doubt that he is an abuser! No one should have an untouchable life long job! Down with this Supreme Court, we’re sick of them!Thanks for all your work!
Anita Hill was her name!!! She still speaks out about workface sexual harassment to this day. Clarence Thomas is disgusting in every sense of the word. It’s a damn shame he has a lifetime appointment. Down with it all, start over, 0/10 ⭐️
Iconic episode. Jennifer and Pumps are FOR the people. For the underserved. For those that need our voice the most. I happened upon your channel when searching for Mary Trump interviews. Then I saw you had Adam Rippon on. I so love this channel!
Please don take this wrong but I LOVE you two Women. You talk like I talk and you are very SMART. My Mother was a very strong Woman who raised me and my Brother and Sister by Herself. Im kind of happy that my Mom was a DIVORCEE in 1960 becuse we were kicked out of the church. My Mom was Beautiful, like you two.
seriously though I'd really love for y'all to have Frank Shaeffer, Kate Cohen, or James Carville. they would kinda tie into this SCOTUS radicalization and overall rise of Christian Nationalism. Luv y'all!
As a retired photographer/camera operator I would suggest moving the mics behind the chairs next to the wall. Cleaner look and the audio should be just as good, if done properly. I just found your site and think you folks do a great job but wish you would discuss term and/or age limits for congress and all federal judges. Personally I think people should only be allowed to malinger in congress for 12 years. Two six year terms as a senator and three four year terms as a house member and aging out at 70. I think all federal judges should step down at 70.
This week’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (S11 E1) is all about Clarence Thomas. It’s so good - like in the “this is infuriating but love the exposure” way. His entitled smugness is beyond. I wonder how RBG dealt with him behind the scenes.
Instead of shirking their responsibility to verify the plain language of the 14th Amendment, putting the voters, the Congress, and the Country through more grief and strife, the Supreme Court should have the courage to lead by example: to honor their oaths where others have failed, and prove our claim to be a nation ruled by Law, rather than fear or political expediency. Let them earn a motto for their high bench: “Lex non a rege est violanda” - Not even a King may violate the Law.
History, music and literature are repeating themselves with Clarence "Uncle" Thomas and the mostly forgettable Log Cabin Boys. "What a fool believes, the wise man has the power, to reason away."
The U.S. Supreme Court reentered the abortion debate Wednesday, agreeing to review a lower court decision that would make mifepristone, the commonly used abortion pill, less accessible. They must own our bodies and self agency.
The Supreme Court of the USA should be honest , experienced, apolitical, reasonable, and totally free of racial or religious bias. Otherwise, there can be no justice in the USA.
Pumps, please read up on Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. They are the ones who made this happen. Bought and sold to the tune of $600 million! That’s how this happened! 😢
Bad people become corrupt and even more corrupt when nobody stands against them! It takes courage to oppose the high and corrupt but it has to be done! Deo Volunte!
Jane Roberts, the wife of Chief Justice John Roberts, made more than $10 million in commissions over an eight-year stretch where she matched top lawyers with elite law firms-including some that had cases before the Supreme Court.
